As has been my custom for the past few years, 1 have epent hé winter months away from Connec- ticut. Upon my return home I glanced over the back numbers of The Bulle- tin and read each Social Corner page. I felt very much as Rip Van Winkle Gid upon awakening from his long i|'sleép. A long list of new writers met my eve; in faet, the procession was €0 long that I found myself wonder- ing if they were really all new writers or_some of the older writers with a new name. 1 saw, among other things, that the Social Corner had celebrated its sixth enniversary. 1 regret I was not on hand with an anniversary greeting to e Social Corner editor and writers; but though late in tendering my con- gratulations to the editor for his six years of successful management of tlo Social Corner page and to the writers Who have contributed towards the suc- cess of it, I do so now, with all sin- cerity. I regretted to hear of the Social Corner loss in the death of Uncle Parker and Sister Frank and Goody Two Shoes. I venture to extend my ‘mpathy to the families of the be- reaved ones. When the Seventh Anniversary rolls | around .again 1 trust we may all be n | here to answer to the roll call. a ENID. CARD a CRIMSON RAMBLER'S SHOWER.

SPECIAL INVITATION TO LEANE. 1AD- Dear Social Corner Sisters: I wish to, thank you for the help you gave us at the gathering of April 12. We did have such a good time. It was So en- couraging to have 5o many there. We know that some made quite an effort to be there, and we appreciate it very much. We hope to meet you all at the next meeting in May. The May meeting is something I look forward to with pleasure. I hope to meet the bashful Sister there. She will be most welcome. I suppose we all feel that way at first, but we get bravely over it. So, Sister “Iadleane,” put on your bonnet and come along. You will not be sorry! Biddy: We. missed your cackle and hope for a speedy recovery of both you and vour sister.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Will write again before I start houseclean- ing, for then I will be too busy to write. Frozen: In paper dated "March 30. 1912, you wrote that you didn't think we could beat Maine for snow. If You had been in Connecticut this win ter. I think you would say that Con- necticut wasn't so far behind. Tiny: Certainly you may ask how I went to Willimantic; but as that would be just as good as telling you who 1 am,” will let you keep on guessing, for 1 surely was there, and had my full share of everything. TIll zive you a wee, tiny hint. How do you like your ice cream best, with or without cake? Now see if you can remember. Bo Peep: As I have never tried to disguise my age in any way, can safe- Iy say I am old in years. 1 can’t re- member _of having any unusual exper- fence. Why? I have no children now. Diana: You have always been one of my fsvorite writers, since your first letter printed May 11, 1912, I *still treasure a pretty view of a lighthouse sent by you, when I was known by a different name. See if you can beat your Connecticut Sisters guessing; but don’t guess too plainly as they have none of them discovered me vet, though we are old friends, they would all say if T should sign my former pen- name. But now it will be MOTHER HUBBARD. SOME TASTY USES OF MEET. Twelve o’Clock Pie: This is made with shoulder of mutton, boiled with carrots and onfons, then cut up ana mixed with potatoes separately boiled and cut up, and put into a baking dish. The crust is made by wiping smooth- 1y mashed potatoes to which a table- Spoon of shortening has been added, with enough flour and water to make them roll out easily. A pie made of a pound of meat will require 5 or 6 small boiled potatoes and 8 or 9 peppers, and other season- ing, such as onions and carrots may be added to taste. A teaspoon of baking powder makes the crust light- er. Spanish Beefsteak: Take a piece of round steak, weighing two pounds, and about an inch thick, and pound until thin. Season with salt and cayenne pepper: cover with a layer of bacon, or salt pork, cut into thin slices, roli and tle with a cord. Pour around it half a cup of milk and half a cup of water. Place in a covered baking dish and cook two hours, basting oc- casicnally. Good luck to all, who try these. EVENING STAR. ‘Willimantic. GREETINGS FROM CALLA LILY Dear Social Corner Sisters: It has been some time since I wrote The Corner, but one thing and another side tracks us for a time, 1 thank Interested Reader for the annual calendar. T appreciate it and How “‘l‘l:; VIA)e cause of many a joke as water was seldom used as a beverage in the small village of that name. paid There wae a small mill that wages, and employed a smalil small force of help, that were, not skilled a store enough to work in larger mills small schoolhouse with a small and post office; a small station where trains stopped when flagged; a small hotel with a good-sized bar room; a small church with no pastor; and the “Hell Hole.” This last place had been started some two years before by a young fel~ low who gave his name as “The Devil,*’ and sald he never sailed under false colors, and as he was going to run a “hell hole,” he would put the true name on his sign. Time proved both names appropriate, although the Devil was as handsome as an angel. Tall and well formed; complexion as white as a child’s,’ except for the healthy tan: eves as blue as a summer sky: and ringlets of golden hair. He made no friends and received no letters. He told funny stories—but never vulgar ones; he swore, but Mever used fiithy words; he danced clog and jig dances, but would not allow a woman in his place; and “The Hole” was run on the samc principle. He played for high stakes—but never a crooked game; no man could get a drink after he was drunk; there were no robberies; there were flerce fights, but they were al- ways fair: and he gave no hiat of his name or his past. In cold or stormy weather he would wade through drifts to take a drunken man to shelter and in many cases of suffering money was received from an unknown friend. There was a flutter of surprise when it was known that a preacher had offered his services to the little church for what the people would drop into a box placed at the door each Sunday, beginning Palm Sunday morning. He arrived at the hotel late Saturday and few saw him until Sunday morning. His coming kad been discussed in ‘The Hole,” and “the Devil” remarked: ‘He won’t hurt me. 1 never work his day, anyway, and to_go to hear him.” Sind: morning when the parson started for church the entire village was on the street. but few h~d any in- tention of attending service. The building was bare of decoration. and looked dreary enough, but it was the pastor who made the people look— rub their eyes, and look agai He might have been “the Devil” except that he was of slighter build, and his eyes were of violet blue and his wavy hair nut brown, his pale, boyish face grew paler vet as he noted the almost empty seats- a few children—but he bravely began the services. He was a fine reader and his voice, while not strong, was of rare sweetness, but there was none to Join him in the hymns. He told the story of our _Savlour's journey to Jerusalem, and closed with a most carnest prayer—asking all to come again at 7 o'clock. A few men dropped in for the even- ing and he followed the subject of the morning during the I week of that Precious Life to the last day—this he Jeft for the subject for Friday night. Again he sang alone. As thev left the church several saw a tall figure ahead that went into the “Hell Hole.” ‘The Hole” was open again Mon- day. but “the De was silent and said he had only seen “the parson“ at a distance.’ The parson spent his time in mak- ing friends with the children, and try ing to malke the church more cheerful; but the effect was not encouraging. Friday night, for only about a dozen weer in the church when he entered, though there was crowd on the reet, for “the Devil” had turned ev- eryone out and closed his door at 6 vil” ¢ ou are not obliged | E: two or three women and | Inngul: His Name - The pastor, Rev. Carl Dyson, had just bowed his head in prayer and did not see the face of the man who sat with _his head on the back of the pew in front until the close of the ser- vice, but he knew that ont of the common had happened by the looks of his audience. . The man attempted to puass out before he could reach the dcor, but he succeeded in grasp- ing his arm as he left the church door, and together they walked talking on. The crowd saw the minister walk with is pastor into the door of the ‘Hell 0l2,” a story and a half building with two jarge rooms below and two above which no ‘ofie had ever entered since “the Fole" was opened, although sev- eral pleces of furniture had been brought from town by auto and car- ried up to the landing. Saturday “The Hole” dld mot open and two men, looking more alike than ever, were seen together several times on _the street. .Several children were hired to bring arbutus and evergreen and put it up under Mr. Dyson's directions. “The Devil” mailed a letter on the morning train and received a larsp box in the evening and curiosity high when the two again entered “the Hole” for the night. Sunday morn- ing the sign had been taken down. When pastor and people met for the morning service, few recognized the neatiy dressed man who walked quiet- ly vp the aisle and seated himself at the long unused organ. On the desk was a mass of Easter lilies, something never seen in the village before. The pastcr read the Easter psalm and a frm vcice made the responses; then the organ responded to a masterly touch, and a magnificent tenor voice joined with the pastor. The sermon was a vevelation to those present, and the room was still as a death chamber. At the close the pastor asked all to come agsin that evening and enjoy a praise service, siying: “My twin {brother, Claude, is going to recite an poem, and I can promise you a The Easter concert was a success, with the poem by Claude Dyson, a reacing by the school teacher, a few recilations and verses by the children, and the music—Claude at the organ and the pastor with his violin. Ent the surprise came the next morning when the men entered the open door of the building that bore the new sign, “Come In!" A box had come on the early train from a city bakery and the smiling vourg fellow was prepared to serve andwiches, eggs, potatoes. steak, cof- fee and other tempting dishes to the hungrv. The room was clean and fresh and the shelves back of the counter held papers and a few books for sale; or to loan 1 cent a week. A few days later a sweet faced, white-haired woman, a_hundred miles away watched her husband’s return from business with an anxious heart and she snatched the letter from his hand eage “What does he say!" asked father, “T @id not have my glasses.” She read a few lines and exclaimed, “Just listen, and then thank God.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I have kept still about as long as I can and if one made use of the space I offered 1 am now going to use it myself. I went to the gathering April 12 and if nothing had never tken said about former gatherings I might have been able to say something great about the April one; but, as it was, I enjoyed myself so much and was so pleased to meet with so many of the Sisters, and the hostesses served such a tempting and nourishing lunch, that for supper I could only eat an orange. “The man of the house” noticed it and said: “You are losing your appe: tite. You better get something for it. I replied: “I have had something for it—a Social Cornmer dinner.” I wish to thank the hostesses for my pleasant entertainment. Merry Andrew: You ought to have been there. Five gentlemen were present and they did not stare either. Blue Bird: I was so glad to meet you. Juliet: I wonder if I have guessed you?

Two things—sufficient food; suffi- cient sunshine. If they have been long in present situation and do not make flowers move to better soll, or more sunshine. Every fall I dig in about a foot from them well rotted manure. When they get to the budding stage give them plenty of water with ni- trate of soda—teaspoon to quart— dissolved in it. If they do mot bloom then move to a new place and fertil- ize early in September. The Sisters who receive dahlia seeds from Joseph Doe are likely to see some eurprising blossoms. They are| all dahlias. There are no other seeds | among them. I hope every packet will give pleasing results. JOSEPH DOE. Norwich.. SOCIAL CORNER MEETING WITH INEZ. Dear Social Cornerites: —Another one of the most enjoyable meetings of the scason was held on April 13th at the lovely home of Inez. The. Social Corner gold color was conspicuous on the way leading to the home, so no one could get lost. ‘All were hospitably welcomed by the hostess and immediately upon arrival the fun commenced with never a dull moment for the large number attending. A social time was enjoyed before dinner was served in the spacious dining room. As usual this proved to be one of the most inviting rooms. the table being loaded with baked beans, sandwiches, salads, doughnuts, cake, fruit and coffee. After dinner speches were one of the features. and discussions were held upon the topics of the day. one of the most instructive being Presi- dent Wilson and his administration. Musical selections by Joan were very pleasing, and Mayfayre's “Order in ‘a Restaurant,” calied for an en- core. The doctor as usual had a number of cases to attend and all were suc- cessfully treated with the valued help of “The Assistant” ‘The time for departure came all too soon. the members voting Inez a right royal entertainer.

I have not been able to attend any of the meetings as vet, but I hope to before long. I enjoy them all Photographer: Be easy on me. Billie's story was very good. 1 am afraid that I could not find enough of my husband’s shirts to use for anything after they had visited the laundry three or four times. {_Where is the Brown Bee from atne? I am sending the way T cook chicken after the birds get a little old to fry. Smothered Chicken: Cut a chicken up as for frying: roll in salted flour: lay in a greased pan, sprinkled with | pepper and cover with milk (water can |be used), but we like milk better: and bake until tender.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Here are a few hints about marking children’s garments so they will not mix: One can buy iIn the various stores initials by the yard, worked in red or blue outline stitch, on narrow strips of linen tape, three-eighths or a half- inch wide. These letters are used for marking plain underclothing, etc. They are of great use to the mother with a large family, who has neither money nor time to spend on embroidery and who finds it necessary to have some di tinguishing mark on the clothing, es- pecially when there are two chiidren the same size. The letters are cut off from the strip when needed and overcast on the inside of the garment, any place where it will not be visible when worn. When this system is used even stockings are easily paired. Sew each child’s initial at the top of the stock- ing on the inside: then put a cross stitch in red under the letter on each stocking of the first pair. Use a blue cross stitch on the second, yellow on the third, ete. It is an easy matter to sort even a large pile of stockings: two M's with red crosses being a pair of Mary's stockings, two M's with green crosses another pair, while two J's with blue crosses are a pair of stockings belong- ing to Jack. It two children have the same ini- tial use the blue letters for one and red for the other. If this method is used a great deal of time and labor will be saved, es- pecially in the sorting of the garments. Best wishes to all. MOUNTAIN LAURBL. AN EASTER PARTY.

Washington, April _21. — Antonio Villareal has had a busy career as soldier, statesman, newspaperman and authority on agrarian, socigl and re- ligious problems in Mexico. He helped Ricardo Flores Magon and other Mexican soclalists in Los Angeles to revolt against Porfirio Diaz before Francisco Madero took the field, an agitation which resulted in four or five Mexicans spending some time in a fed- eral penitentiary charged with viola- tion of American neutrality. With Magon, Villareal edited Regen- eracion, a Mexican paper published in Los Angeles in support of the revolu- tion, and helped plan a socialist com- monwealth which it was intended to found in Lower California. finances for which were collected by Magon's par- tisans. After failure of the common- wealth project Villareal became an or- dinary street laborer in Los Angeles, but later joined Madero and was sent as_his agent to_Barcelona, Spain. Villareal has been known as a strong anti-clerjcal and has advocated radical reforms in the Catholic church in Mex- ico.
